How to dress like Meghan Markle on a budget
Oh, Meghan Markle. We can scarcely remember a time where we weren’t trying to replicate her outfits or achieve the perfect Markle wave. And while we can dream, imitating Meghan Markle’s style requires something we don’t have: a million-dollar wardrobe fund.
A Givenchy and Victoria Beckham aficionado, many of Meghan’s most sought-after looks are, admittedly, well above our pay grade. But because we are women rich in creativity and love a good Internet scour, we’ve found the perfect Meghan Markle style alternatives – all for under $150. So ladies, gents, @sussexroyal stalkers, this is how to dress like Meghan Markle, on a budget.
Meghan Markle is the undisputed queen of outerwear; a skill that will come in handy as her, Prince Harry, and baby Archie move to Canada. Take inspiration from Meghan’s impressive coat collection and invest in statement coats in classic colors. The greater the coat, the lazier the outfit. Well, for us anyway.

An easy style hack Meghan Markle taught us: keep to one color palette. The Duchess is often seen wearing varying shades of one color. Switch up textures and shades to add dimension to your outfit but keep the shades within the same family to maintain cohesion.

During the height of Suits and when her and Harry’s royal duties (RIP) don’t require them to dress to the nines, Meghan Markle’s style is focussed on fit, quality, and elevated basics. Tailored blouses, well-fitting jeans, and neutral mix-and-match colors. Embrace Meghan’s relaxed style and pair a white blouse with light-washed denim and a carry-all tote.
